Add a punch of flavour to your everyday meals with a simple marinade or hit of spice. MiNDFOOD’s Weekly Menu Plan once again dishes up some delicious meals including chargrilled beef fillets with horseradish, tarragon and caper butter; roasted kumara and quinoa salad with marinated feta; and orange blossom baklava.
COMBATING PIGMENTATION
Many of us feel self-conscious when brown spots suddenly appear on our face and hands. Most Australians over 35 have some form of pigment spotting (hyperpigmentation) caused by sun exposure, hormone fluctuations or use of products containing chemical fragrances that can react to sunlight. MiNDFOOD looks at the different forms of hyperpigmentation and how you can treat it.
UNKNOWN ENEMY
Ruptured brain aneurysms are fatal in about 40 per cent of cases and half the victims are younger than 50, and most commonly females. Dr Andrew Davidson, consultant surgeon at Macquarie
University Hospital in Australia, says more awareness of the condition is needed and if you, or someone you are with, experiences a sudden “thunderclap headache” go straight to the emergency room. Don’t go to bed to try to sleep it off.
BULLYING
Bullying is a huge problem in this country – from kindergartens through to the workplace. MiNDFOOD looks at this issue and how anti-bullying programmes are helping to tackle the problem. Plus, what to do if you witness bullying.
